1020 Main Street, Vancouver (Chinatown-ish)
I seem to be going on an Italian streak recently! This time around, I went with my friend Elaine (the original foodie friend!) to Campagnolo on Main Street!I heard many great reviews of this place, as well as the full service cocktail lounge right next door called Campagnolo Upstairs, so I thought I would go give it a try! Elaine and I were pretty hungry so we got to Campagnolo pretty early, beating out the dinner rush entirely - as in, the restaurant wasn't busy at all, so we were free to sit pretty much wherever we liked. As we had our dinner, the restaurant started to fill up at about 6:30ish or so. We got there at about 5pm. After a lot of deliberation (the selection was incredible!), we decided to share the Funghi Bianco and the Dungeness Crab Risotto. Both of these dishes were excellent choices by Elaine, and Elaine said it best: "I will forever keep thinking of this pizza!" The Funghi Bianco pizza was a white pizza, with a very light cream sauce and olive oil and topped with very fresh mushrooms. The crust wasn't quite thin crust, but was not as thick as a regular crust, making it very tasty and just the perfect consistency and thickness. There was something about this pizza that was super incredible - the spices? The freshness of the mushrooms? The crust? In all it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had! Similarly, the risotto was a great choice. It tasted amazing - zesty lemon, grilled scallions and the dungeness crab made for an excellent combination. The portion size was okay, though I was hoping for a little more for what we paid ($25). I will have to go and check out the cocktail bar, as well as their other location (Campagnolo Roma) on Hastings Street!
